Influences: 'Angels' is 11 tracks that came out of necessity. There was an innocence that informed the first album, 'Corrugations'. The songs were built on the optimism of learning to play and perform. 'Angels' comes from a much darker place with more layers of instrumentation and riven with a fury at a world where everything has been reduced to the consistency of a tepid viscous gloop, where politics is a fashion, where music is mediocrity, and where celebrity has replaced substance. In a world of shopping malls and rabib consumerism, no one seems to pause and wonder who profits from all the crap that we're being sold, or who owns the supermarkets where a world without meaning is on display. 'Angels' is a response to this - the idea that everything is the same and there is no difference between life and death. 'Angels' is 11 tracks that came out of necessity.
Sounds Like: The musicians I admire have all set themselves against the way things are: Tom Waits, JJ Cale, and John Martyn; Skip James, Marvin Gaye, and James Brown; Gillian Welch, Cat Power, and Mary Gauthier; Rainer Ptacek, Tinariwen, and Stevie Ray Vaughan; Neil Young, Calexico, and Iron & Wine
Type of Label: None

44 notes

Just as Mike Tyson won 44 of his professional fights by knockout, so there are 44 distinct notes employed in everything that I perform and this makes a lot of my music similar to the noise made by a l...

Foxes ridden by Geese

I was aiming for this South Sea Island feel, a lot of grass skirts and garlands made from hooped dreams, and what I tried to do was cross pollinate this with the drinking songs favoured by Vikings as ...

Origins

I was born a single parent in a Martin Amis novel from the 1980's eating crisps that Martin provided because they smelled entirely of vinegar and onions and lived on a council estate where everyone dr...

Goalkeepers

Just as Albert Camus was never, actually, the national Algerian goalkeeper, and Soren Kierkegaard never appeared on Big Brother, so I will refuse to visit Celebrity Love Island with my collection of i...

lions

Although the lions of Longleat have never tasted human flesh I don't think it matters when we drive through them, beeping, in our motor cars.

history

I respect people with wooden teeth from the 18th Century and I think its wrong to laugh at them... even if they do become President of the United States of America
